Nash Park had some renovations done and its like really cool to see in person and it might inspire you to watch the movie if you haven't seen it yet. It wasn't on Yelp and I accidentally found it and I figured its worth being on here. So please feel to share it with others and let this park become A Beautiful Place!

Since we are in a pandemic mode and there are not many place for outdoor dining, this park was perfect for it. I really appreciate how well of a build it is. There are plenty of benches and tables to gather. It also has a very unique Japanese structure on site which I think is an amazing idea. Thank you for reading this and I hope you find this helpful.

I have been traveling near this park for years and never knew about this nice little escape located off Harlingen Road. The kid's playground looks good and they even got a zipline for them, so I'm sure kids really enjoy it because it looks like fun. The Veterans and 911 Memorial is a great addition because it reminds us of the many innocent people who lost their lives fighting for this country or those who were just in the city working on that unforgettable day on September 11, 2001. I love being in nature and the Arboretum is the perfect place to just relax and explore while listening to the birds sing to you! I added this info below from park's website: "Upper and lower park entrances on Harlingen Road passed Devon Rd. Playground, pathways, restroom, picnic/pavilion area (2),grills, fire pit, lighted basketball courts (2), lacrosse fields, softball fields, sand volleyball. Paved loop path and cross-country trails. It includes: The Montgomery Veterans Memorial and the 9-11 Memorial  A short paved pathway away from the upper parking area. The Montgomery Arboretum A natural area which can be accessed from the lower parking area, where there is signage."

We rode the paths (2x around) for about a 3.5 mile distance. In the more wooded sections we saw a family of deer from no more than 15 feet away, they watched us as we watched them crossing the path. People all had their dogs on leashes and everyone was polite/friendly. A nice scenic place to ride/walk if you want to get out of your neighborhood these days.

It is well known that the use of any pesticide does not stay where it is sprayed but ruins microorganisms in the soil, runs into the water sources, and eventually to humans. There are other sustainable ways to block out invasive plants... As my child and i played in the beautiful pine trees on the hill, a go cart came by spraying. We quickly got out of there and went down the hill and over the bridge to the playground. It didn't take long for the smell to waft down to the playground. We must really educate ourselves about pesticide use because it affects everyone and everything. Where will our children play safely? Go to www.beyondpesticides.org for pesticide fact sheets and ways to change policy on pesticide use.

Some of the park's attractions include: * Bocce Ball Courts * Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail Access * Dog Park * Fishing * Fitness Trail * Golf Course * Large Playground * Miniature Golf * Nature Trails * Paddle Boating (Duck Boats) * Picnic Pavilions * Rose Garden & Sensory and Fragrance Garden * Spray Park * Tennis & Pickleball Courts The park also connects directly to the Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail via a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the canal. I've walked throughout the park and along the D&R Trail. Fitness stations are located along portions of the trail, and it's easy to create a scenic loop that passes the photogenic Stone Cottage and the spectacular Rose Garden area. The Splash Park is incredibly popular with families. On hot, sunny days, parking near the playground can be hard to find. So far, I've enjoyed the duck boats, miniature golf, fitness trail, nature trails, Rose Garden, and Splash Park. Next on my list are the bocce courts, which appear to be in excellent condition. If you're visiting the area, Colonial Park is a destination well worth your time.

If on foot, take Mount Lucas Road up to Campbell Woods Way and find the path through a cul de sac. Why we love it: Restrooms. I know everyone loves the other parks, but this one has a real restroom, open most of the year and a port a potty during the winter. A definite bonus with kids. Skate park. Skateboards, bicycles, scooters. No one is rude--it's rather refreshing seeing people take turns. So much for the idea from my childhood that skaters were criminals. Climbing wall. Basketball court. Jungle gyms for wee and older kids. Picnic tables. Active soccer field. Swings. One was broken last summer, removed the next day, replaced the third day. Active. It is rare that the park is ever empty. Ample parking I try to do the bars every time we visit; the kids aren't quite there yet, but there are both children's and regular bars, plus the spinny bars. 4 slides, possibly 5. Tip: if you want to take ice cream cones, scoop ice cream on to cones, put upside down into cups (the kid's cups from restaurants are perfect), then put into a purse. The kids will think you're a mad genius.

I went to Duke Farms around 2ish and the parking lot was full but I did find a parking spot. There are many different trails to walk and bike. I saw that you can rent a bike and I saw visitors with their own bikes. This is definitely the perfect spot for a cute small picnic with friends or family or even a cute date idea. They also have a cafe on site and public restrooms in the main building. I only had time to go to orchid range which was nice. I brought my kindle with me and sat inside and enjoyed the greenery and read for a little. I have to go back to Duke Farms and have a little picnic one of these days.

First of all, the hike was extremely muddy, so dress accordingly. It had been raining the prior day. The kids shoes/ pants were filthy at the end... we had them take off their shoes before getting in the car. Fortunately it was not slippery despite the incline. Speaking of the incline, it wasn't very difficult. Didn't get any complaints from the kids. The hike itself is quite interesting with the boulders, scenery etc which kept them engaged. We spent probably an hour for the round trip, with an additional half hour exploring the boulders. It has a fairly large parking lot which was convenient. Note that we did enter "Sourland Mountain" as the destination in google maps which took us to the middle of nowhere. So I'd recommend specifically adding the hiking trail as the destination.
